I just purchased a prism zephyr today and when I got it home and assembled it the bridal was all wrong. ... With the bridal adjustment in the center of the limit knots the nose is so far back the kite flies backwards ? Is this a common issue and how do I fix this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can get me up and flying.

The Zephyr is a low wind trick kite, If you are a novice to stunt kite flying it will do things that in the wrong hands that just does not seem right.

With the right inputs at the exact timing this kite is awesome, I have two but In Australia I only get about 10 days a year to fly in perfect conditions for this kite.

The days you get to fly in perfect conditions are great but in saying that I have to many kites, It's a highly addictive sport. Just ask Mr Chilese the godfather of sport kite flying in the US, he is a great mentor for the sport and is appreciated world wide for his insightful wisdom to a unique sport that very people understand.

Im more of a do it myself kinda person and would love the learning experience with this. ..I figured out that if I adjust it about 3 inches above the light wind knot it sits at about the same angle of attack as my 4d and hypnotist in their normal wind setting, does anyone have the measurements or specs for the zephyr bridal, maybe the limit knots are tied in the wrong place

Unfortuantely Prism doesn't seem to like making it's bridle measurements readily available unlike some other makers. Could I suggest you measure and post the bridle dimensions of your bridle here on the forum so that someone compare them with their Zephyr and we can figure out the problem? I suggest measuring from the knot to the frame on each 'leg' would avoid any confusion.

My Prism QPro SUL came with the bridle attached upside-down. So, it's not the first time for that...The Zephyr is a great kite once you get it adjusted correctly... best of luck.And no, never fixed the QPro SUL, it has yet to see flight.

Ok so took some measurements But didn't have anything at home to measure in metric hope these will still help. (It's in inches)Upper leading edge to low wind knot.....17 15/16Lower leading edge to high wind knot. ....18 1/2Low wind knot to high wind knot. ....1 3/4Spine to larks head on the leader. ....20 1/8

I can see that my lines are shorter all the way around.... is it possible that they put the wrong bridal on or maybe changed the design.

The kite will fly if I adjust it way past the low wind knot

My Zephyr bridle dimensions are approximately the same as yours, and mine flies........ I adjusted to the light wind knot, suspended the kite, and the nose and tail are nearly the same distance from the floor. When I adjust the bridle between the high and low wind knots, the nose is closer to the floor (below the tail). Again, my kite flies, I am surprised you are having problems.
